Set List

 I am a genX male.  Hahaha!  Who knew?

I exercise int he morning and listen to my old iPod nano mix a setlist of about 880 songs.  This filters our the Classical.

Here's what it played for me today--ANNOTATED.

  • Natural Blues-- Moby
  • Ah! Leah! —Donnie Iris. (I still deeply love this song. Thank god they invented the internet so I could find it again)
  • Little Maggie—Kentucky Thunder, Ricky Scraggs
  • Sehnsucht—Ramstein
  • Venus—Bananrama. (I also have the Shocking Blue version, which is  a lot better)
  • If I Can’t Change Your Mind—Sugar
  • We Used to Be Friends—Dandy Warhols
  • Strumpet Eye—Guided by Voices
  • Christine—Siouxsie and the Banshees
  • We Don’t Exist—Meat Puppets
  • I Desire—Devo
  • I Love a Man in Uniform—Gang of Four
  • 10:15 Saturday Night—The Cure (Hearing this today really resonated.  WHAT A BRILLIANT SONG!)
  • Turn a Square—The Shins
  • Bestafe Mich—Rammstein. (skipped this one.  One Rammstein a morning is enough)
  • Chasing Heather Crazy—Guided by Voices. (I remember this as the song that was playing on 9/11 when I heard the World Trade Center towers went down.)
  • Search and Destroy—Iggy and the Stooges
  • One Way of Another—Blondie
  • The Hives Introduce the Metric System in Time—The Hives
  • Mirror in the Bathroom—The English Beat
  • Down In It—Nine Inch Nails. (skipped this one, too)
  • Time to Fall—Radio Birdman
  • Needles for Teeth—The Jesus Lizard

So, I put the unannotated list  into Chatgpt and asked it to deduce the demographics of the person.  Of course it had A LOT to say...!  But this was the gist of it:

Probably a Gen X male, born in the late ’60s or early ’70s, based in the U.S., with deep knowledge of alternative, post-punk, and industrial music.
Possibly artistic, musically literate, or college-educated, with eclectic tastes that span from bluegrass to goth to indie rock. 

 

I know lots of people have big qualms with AI, I understand........ but I also asked it to make a picture of the new genX male me:
